San Francisco: Great Beer and Bad Burgers at Rogue Ales Public House
Rogue Ales Public House
673 Union St., San Francisco CA 94133 (map); 415-362-7880; rogue.com
Cooking Method: Grilled
Short Order: Don't believe the hype on the menu; these burgers are flavorless and disappointing
Want Fries with That? Comes with the burger and though they aren't great, they're better than the burger
Price: The Cheeseburger, $13.50; w/bacon, +$1.45
Notes: Open Mon. to Thurs., Sun., 12 p.m. - 12 a.m.; Fri. to Sat., 12 p.m. - 2 a.m.
As of late I've been familiarizing myself with North Beach and Chinatown, one of the most densely populated areas in San Francisco, and where food choices are very hit or miss. Recently I had a big miss at Rouge Ales Public House.
The menu list both burgers and American Kobe Beef burgers. The Kobe cheeseburger ($13.50) advertised as 1/2-pound will run you about $4.50 more than the regular, and it's laughably billed on the menu as "the world's greatest burger." The patty is made with Snake River Farms' hormone-free American Wagyu beef and served on an onion bun with wasabi mayonnaise, lettuce, tomato, and onion. The burgers come pre-pattied and frozen.
How someone could take such great meat and make it taste so bad, I can't understand. The patty was as bland and flavorless as they come, with no trace of salt. The texture of the meat was horrible, too—dense, dry, and tacky, it stuck to my teeth when I chewed.
Another huge disappointment was the almost transparently thin slice of cheddar on top of the burger, which was masked by the beef's dull flavor and the wasabi mayonnaise that lacked even a hint of wasabi. The toasted bun tasted old and crumbly. At least the red onions on the burger were crisp and tasted fresh, unlike the mealy tomato and limp lettuce.
The burger comes with an order of "Idaho fries" that tasted just like generic frozen fries. They were salted and cooked until crisp, but I found myself adding tons of ketchup to fill the flavor void the burger left me with.
This place has so much potential: tons of space, back patio, prime location, and great beer. If they could clean up their act in the kitchen and at least put out a good burger they would have a great neighborhood hangout spot. Until then, do yourself a favor and either go in for only a beer, or walk the 0.8 miles to In-N-Out and get a burger worth chewing.

In its first joint statement after the 9-11, 2001, tragedy the United States Bishops echoed the hope and promise of our Lord: His formula for holiness with which He introduces the Sermon on the Mount.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted….
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy….
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. (Mt. 5:4,6,7,9)
"These words of Jesus challenge us," the bishops wrote, "and offer us hope today as our community of faith responds to the terrible events of September 11 and their aftermath."
The November 14, 2001 statement went on to prayerfully remember all who were killed and wounded, and to honor "the selflessness of firefighters, police, chaplains, and other brave individuals who gave their lives in the service of others. They are true heroes and heroines. … In these difficult days, our faith has lifted us up and sustained us. Our nation turned toward God in prayer and in faith with a new intensity."
Ten years later we still experience the changes that, because of the terror of a day, continue to have their effect on the way we do business, on airport security, and the interchange between cultures.
Ten years later we can still see the need for healing. For those who lost a family member or friend or work associate, the need may be deeper as the effects of the tragedy are more lasting and profound. The necessity of supernatural faith and Christian hope is real. Far beyond material compensations, these supernatural graces from God are perhaps the only context in which the work of reparation can commence. Jesus Christ's way of forgiveness and life is the only path that has the capacity to reach peace.
Several years ago I became acquainted with two women from New York. Erin von Uffel enthusiastically told me about a French Daughter of Charity, Sr. Marie de Mandat Grancey, who had given up her position of nobility and wealth in France to serve the sick and the poor in Paris and later in Turkey. She cared for Christian and non-Christian children near Smyrna, and went on to find the House of the Blessed Mother, Mary on a hill above ancient Ephesus.
Both Erin and her friend and co-worker Lorraine Fusaro had known people killed in the 9-11 attack. These two women of faith had begun to see the importance of forgiveness and reconciliation as vital steps on the road to peace. In their experience of Mary's House in Ephesus, they saw a place where every year millions of pilgrims came to ask the intercession of Mary in her maternal love. The extraordinary difference in this 'Christian' shrine was that the majority of those who came to Mary's House in Ephesus were Muslims. Here the children of Mary were gathering, Christian and Muslim alike, to seek favors from this Woman who is heralded in the Christian Bible and the Koran. Erin and Lorraine also saw Sr. Marie as a modern day instrument and holy apostle whom God used to reestablish this holy place where – in God's own mysterious way – diverse creeds could find a common path to God.
Our Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, in another mysterious way, has been given a special role to play in studying the life of Sr. Marie, whom God used to provide a place where perhaps even the tragedy of 9-11 could be reversed, where Christians and Muslims together might come and pray, and find refuge in the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attack, let us pray for healing for all those who sorrow over the terrible losses of that day. Let us pray for renewal in our nation based on our deep supernatural faith in God; for reconciliation and peace with any we may regard as our enemies. After the example of Sr. Marie, who served the Christian and Muslim people of Turkey; through the intercession of Mary, Theotokos, Mother of God and Mother of all people, may we find a true path to the beatitude, reconciliation and peace to which we are called by Jesus Christ.
A resolution has been passed in our country recommending, on Sunday, September 11, 2011, "the observance of a moment of remembrance or prayer to last for 1 minute beginning at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (12 Noon Central), to the maximum extent practicable, by
a) ceasing all work or other activity; and
b) marking the moment in an appropriate manner, including by ringing bells, blowing whistles, or sounding sirens."
Certainly, for us as Catholics, this can be a special moment of prayer, and, pastors may direct church bells to be rung, if possible.

Go, Johnny Go: A Salute To The Hot Mess That Is The NCAA & Johnny Football [VIDEO]
So, Johnny Manziel can't take cash for his autograph? But the NCAA, which is investigating him for doing just that, CAN make money by selling a jersey with "Football" written like a name on the back? Not that Manziel is the most likable guy in the world, but his money-for-my-mark story sure is making a mockery of a bad system -- something we HAD to put to music!

Breaking: Alarming Levels of Monsanto's Glyphosate Found in America's Food
A new report by Food Democracy Now! and the Detox Project exposes shocking levels of glyphosate contamination in popular American foods, including Cheerio's, Doritos, Oreos, Goldfish and Ritz crackers and Stacy's Pita Chips.
Levels found in these product are well above the levels found by independent peer-reviewed studies which show that ultra-low levels of glyphosate can cause organ damage starting at 0.1 parts per billion (ppb). This is 1,750 times lower than what the EPA currently claims is safe. The highest levels detected were found in ... read more

Engineers spent countless hours properly setting up a car's suspension. Ambitious kids spend even more time fucking that careful work up as much as possible. Hence this staggering effort to probe the theoretical outer limits of camber adjustment.
For those of us with delicate mechanical sensibilities, this kei-class Suzuki Alto almost hurts to watch: those torturous bearing stresses, that ridiculous steering geometry, God knows what happens when it runs over something thicker than a coin or goes around a corner. And tires are not designed to work like that.
Of course this is exactly the kind of in-the-box thinking that prevents people from living large and following their dreams, so maybe it's my loss. See, someone went and did something different. Someone worked to leave their mark on their corner of the insanity that is Japanese car culture and has the trophies to show for the effort. Maybe if more of us heed this example...
Nah. Not a good idea.
